CKEESEL WORK.


'Tis the Master who holds the mallet,
And day by day
He is clipping whate'er enyirons
The form away,
Which, under his skillful cutting,
He means shall be
Wrought silently out in beauty
OF such degree
OF faultless and full perfection,
That angel eyes
shall look on the finished labor
With new surprise
That even his boundless patience
Could grave his own
Features upon such fractured
Ana stubborn stone.
It's the Master who holds the chisel,
He knows Just where
Its edge should be driven sharpest
To fashion there
The semblance that he is carving,
Nor will he let
one delicate stroke too many,
Or few, be set
On forehead or check, where only
He sees how all
Is tending-and where the hardest
Tho blows shall fall,
Which crumbles away whatever
Superfuous line
Would hinder his hand from making
The work Divine.
With tools of thy choosing, Master,
We pray thee, then,
Strike just as thou wilt; as often,
And where, ana when,
The vehement stroke is needed,
will not mind.
If only thy clipping chisel
Shall leave behind
Such marks of thy wondrous working,
And loving skill,
Clear carven on aspect, stature,
And face, as will
When discipline's hands are over,
Have all sufficed
To mould me into the likeness
And form OF Christ.

Three Kansas City Officers Beat and Kick
a Drunken Man to Death.
KANSAS CITY, September 1G.-Ou Sunday
night Thomas Burke, q well to do cit zen, &c
years Of age, went home partially intoxicat-
ed and began raising disturbance with his
wife. Three policemen, named S, w. Mich
OILS, Samuel Peterson and Edward Fitzger-
aid, were summoned to the house and ar
rested him. A short distance away his wife
and several neighbOrs heard him cry:
''Oh, good God Pm EiIledI'
When he entered the station. house in
charge of the officers, one of them gave him
a violent kick. He was in pitiable cOndi-
ton and said to the captain in charge:
They kicked me all the way here. I'm
killed"
Without any examination he was put into
a cell and on Monday sent to the WOrkhOuse.
There 1t was soon discovered that he was
suffering from frightful injuries. Three
physicians who Were called said that he was
suffering from rupture resulting from a pow
ertul blow or kick in the lower portion
of the pelvis. He was removed to
his home but continued to grow worse, was
seized with parOZysns and died in terrible ag-
ony at 1 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. He was
conscious most of the time and repeatedly
said thar the policeman had kicked him all
the way to the station house. The coroner
held an inquest to-day and this evening
ordered the arrest of Peterson for the muir
der. The dead man left an estate of S25, 600
to his family

CITY OF MEXICO, September 16.-Inde-
pendenee day was celebrated in this city
with extraordinary enthusiasm. The city
was finely decorated and the Examinations
last night were magnificent. At IL O'Clock
p. m, President Diaz made his appearance
in front of the national palace and repeated
to a great crowd the historic declaration of
Independence. No sooner had the
last words died away when "a
tremendous salute of cannon was
fired. Citizens marched through the
streets with bands. This morning the pres
ident and high functionaries marched IN
procession in Alameda, where patriotic ex-
ercises took place. The business offices of
all AmericansI Ong the line of march were
finely decorated with the stars and stripes
iuIertwiued with the Mexican flag and
portraits of HidalgO and Washington
crowned with laurels. The American
colony took an active part in
the celebration. The American allegOrical
cars in grand procession, which occurred
lateriu the forenoon, were greatly applauded.
The military feature of the occasion was
very imposing, 10000 of the finest troops in
Mexico being IN line, commanded by veteran
generals. The display OF cavalry was su-
perb and elected much commentator from
Americans.

PAoLA, KAN, September 16.-Testerday a
young man about 10 years old arrived here
on the north bound train, having Two bright
little girls, claiming he had brought
them here for the purpose of securing a
place for them at the poor farm. He
left the children in charge of Mrs.
Bumgartner, at the Depot hotel, claiming he
would go and see the probate Judge and get
permit. He has not been seen since and
the little ones are still with the lady. where
they were left. Before leaving, he said that
the father Of the children died about
a year ago and that their mother
was buried about a year ago. There is
considerable difference of opinion about
the young man, but it Is generally supposed
that some poor mothers heart aches to-
night for her two stolen children, who were
kidnapped for the purpose OF receiving a
reward Tor their recovery. The children
are about two and four years old.

TIE WEEKS REVIEW.
An Antieipations of Money stringenoy
AbundantIy justified.

An AntieipatiOns OF Money striHgency
AbundantIy justified.
NV YORK, September 16.-R. G. Dunn
d Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:
An anieipations Of money stringency are
abUndautly justified by the pressure felt in
spite of supplies from abroad beyond rea-
sonable anticipation. Gold would be
going ont N large amounts if
merchants alone controlled, but it is irstead
coming IN largely through syudicates in the
purchase or securities, or other investments,
and yet the pressure Is severe. The Boston
market Is light, many millions be-
ing sent west for railroad building.
Philadelphia is cautious because of
recent failures. Cincinnati Is disposed to
G nservatlsm by the Cincinnati, Hamilton d
Dayton matter and the effects of the Fidelity
collapse. Chicago reports enormous business
by nOIe and nigh rates bid by merchants
and manufacturers. StrIngenCy Is reported
at Nashville and Atlanta and active demand
at full rates at New Orleans. The demand
IN Cleveland, Omaha, Kansas City and other
western cities Is brisk On account of the ac-
uyIty IN trade. The treasury
now S3,500,00O more gold than
last Sa .urday and 100000 more legal ten
der, against $4,000 less silver; but the
treasury absorption does not account for the
scarcity, IN view of the large imports of
gold and the conclusion is unavoidable
that the drain of money to the
west is unusually large. Great trouble
IN making time loans because New York
banks have no money to spare depresses
stocks and causes curtaiIment of CONNER
cial tran sgcuOns. Months ago it was fore
seen that real estate speculation and attempt
made to do in one year all the building need
ed for several to come would cause some
depression which Is now felt. The week
ly production of pig iron is not smaller
than year ago. but according to the Iron
Age an increase Of IS per cent. EZ-
Is weaker and heavy imports
continue; with much complaint of under
valuation. Wheat is lower in spite of re-
duced ocean rates to Liverpool. Large ex-
ports from California IN August at a nOmi-
nal price above 81 per busheI are officially
reported and suggest that the effects
of the corner are felt yet at
Liverpool. Corn Is shade lower,
but there is no longer doubt that the crop
was greatly diminished by the drouth, an
other effect OF which Is seen in the heavy
shipments of cattle. Oil doomed To about
70 cents on reports of a meeting of pro
ducers, but collapsed to 81 on Wednesday,
and recovered a little since. The wool mar
ket drags lifelessly. The boot and shoe
trade still improves and dry goods are fairly
sustained, but with Irregularity in the de
mand which make some qualities scarce.
Exports OF bE6aQstuns, provisions, cotton,
cattle and oil were S3T. 100000 in
value, but the imports at New York for Aug
gust show an increase of 10 per cent. Gold
comes this way, not IN payment for goods
but as a loan. The business failures during
the past seven days number for the United
States lj5, for Canada %, total 166; com
pared with ia last week and 1S5iast year.
